    The restaurant/hotel was beautiful, food was good, but honestly hosts wasn’t very welcoming to me I felt racially profiled. It took about at least 20 mins to get seated and serviced when it wasn’t even crowded at all . I am an African American woman and the energy I received was horrific, the food and views was good but I definitely will not be returning.

    Very bad service, my glass of vinegar had lipstick on it, asked for bread and took more than half of hour to arrive.

    Beautiful view and great drinks, but not ideal for special occasions. I booked through OpenTable and noted my mom’s birthday — not even a candle or greeting was offered. Food was good overall, but desserts were disappointing and service was very slow. Come for the view, but skip desserts and don’t expect birthday recognition.

    Wonderful ambiance, great food, and truly nice views of Chicago’s skyline. We visited for lunch this time, but have also been for dinner and drinks — the experience is consistently excellent. The setting is stylish and welcoming, the dishes are flavorful and well presented, and the service is attentive. A go-to spot when you want great cuisine paired with breathtaking rooftop views.

    Extraordinary experience start to finish. Best public rooftop view in the city overlooking the river and the lake. Service was phenomenal, food was exceptional. They let us stay at our table for 4+ hours on a Friday night. I highly recommend.

    I don't know why my table was in a secluded place, far for the best area on the terrace. I have to walk in the dark between stones and irregular surface. Besides the price is too high for the quality of the food.

    The roasted carrot soup was so delicious and light I could eat it everyday for the rest of my life. The chocolate and mascarpone dessert was also delectable.
